And The "Most-Admired Woman" of 2013 Is...

Some love her, some would rather leave her, but there's no denying it: Hillary Clinton is an influential woman.

According to a newly released Gallup poll, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been named the "Most Admired Woman in America" — for the 18th time, in fact (more than any other woman in Gallup's 65-year polling history).

Appearing on 15% of ballots collected, Clinton beat out Oprah Winfrey (6%), Michelle Obama (5%), Sarah Palin (5%), and Duchess Kate Middleton (1%). The list also includes Angelina Jolie, Queen Elizabeth II, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl shot by the Taliban for trying to attend school. Clinton first won the most-admired honor in 1993, when she was First Lady, and has continued to rank on the annual list during her senator and Secretary of State tenures, losing the top spot only in 1995 and 1996 to Mother Teresa, and in 2001 to Laura Bush.

This year, Hillary even outranks her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who only garnered 2% of ballot mentions for "Most Admired Man" (President Barack Obama took the top spot on the men's list for the sixth year in a row).

How does Gallup tally this list? Each year, the research organization sends out ballots to Americans to name, in an open-ended format, the man and woman living anywhere in the world that they most admire.
